waste. scale, trim and chop off the head - "gut" anything else. fry up the whole thing later and rip out the spine you should get almost all the bones with it.

I’ll have to try that next time. I was thinking of doing just that only brining them for a few hours then throwing them on the smoker. Thanks for the tip.

I've been thinking of keeping a few bluegill, I never have before. Do you have a minimum size you consider 'worth it' to keep?

Generally I go by the size of my hand. If it’s around there or bigger I keep it.

Never tried smoking bluegill. Are they any good? I know they're good sauted.

When I see that pile of Bluegill …. I see wonderful bait for catfishing …. one of their favorite meals. Never ate Bluegill, not that I wouldn't, I'm a catch and release guy unless I use it for bait. I hear Bluegill are very tasty. Enjoy
